Employment in Colorado's Cleantech Industry Looks Better..Energy Jobs Are On The Rise!

Increases Are On The Way



Employment in Colorado's clean-tech industry increased 32.7 percent between 2005 and 2010, compared with a 10 percent increase at the national level, according to a 2011 study by the Metro Denver Economic Development Corporation (Metro Denver EDC).

Clean technology was the only sector within the state to grow in 2010, with 1,600 companies employing over 19,000 workers.

"Colorado ranks fourth nationally in the total number of clean-energy jobs and we're still growing and adding jobs," said Tom Clark, executive vice president of the Metro Denver EDC. "With the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in our backyard, the nation's second-highest renewable energy standard and copious amounts of wind and sunshine, our region truly has become a hub for clean-technology."
